Having thus described my invention, I claim?- 1. ln a device for supplying oil to a movable part from a stationary oil supply, an oil reservoir provided with means for feeding oil, an oil supply tube adapted to be given a reciprocating movement and also a pivotal movement, such last movement being at the point of supply of the oil to the tube, a cup arranged to receive the discharge end of the oil supply tube; and a connection from such cup to the moving part to be lubricated said parts being arranged to maintain an oil duct of constant volume between the oil reservoir and the parts to be lubricated.

2. ln a device for supplying oil from a stationary oil supply to a moving part, a standard supporting the oil supply, a head pivotally mounted in such standard, an oil supply tube mounted to reciprocate in such head, a cup receiving thc delivery end of such tube, and means for supplying oil from such cup to the moving part said parts being arranged to maintain an oil duct of constant volume between the oil reservoir and the parts to be lubricated.

3. 1n a device for supplying oil to a moving part, an oil reservoir having means for discharging oil, a standard, a head pivotally mounted therein, a guard tube carried by said head, an oil supply tube mounted to slide in said guard tube, a plug having a recessed bottom attached to the oil supply tube, a cup surrounding said plug and provided with an upwardly coned bottom and an extension to enter the recess in said plug, and a connection from such cup to the moving part to be lubricated.
